Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Spey casting from a dock/shore

That's "streaker".  Naked streamers are another story, for a different message board!

Ah, the Perry Poke!  Story has it that S. Gawesworth came up with it while performing a Single Spey and then spotting a naked streamer named "Perry" on the opposite bank mid-cast.  Voila!  

Spey casting seems to be roughly 90% assigning goofy names to things learned completely intuitively as a result of simply trying to cast.  When I button my pants in the morning, I thread the button on one side through the slit on the other side.  I call it a trans-snap button buckle in my book about buttoning pants, available on Amazon.

I caved and bought a 13ft 7wt for myself for Christmas (thanks Dalton, Dan and Art for the advice!). Of course the only place I've been able to find to cast it that isn't frozen up this week is off a dock on the Charles River (I live in Boston now). I (kinda) know how to Snap T and Double Spey cast, but I found that it couldn't really cast without the line or fly hitting the dock that I was standing on. Is this a limitation of those casts, or am I just bad at it? Any casts I can try that are better for when you don't have any water next to you or behind you at all?
